For many, colorectal cancer is the biggest mountain they will ever face, but they’re not doing it alone. We are here every step of the way, from diagnosis to survivorship and everything in between.
For eleven years, we've been raising funds for colorectal cancer research, reaching new heights together as we fight for more time. Since 2016, we’ve raised more than $1 million for colorectal cancer research, reaching new heights together as we fight for more time.
What began with just 12 participants climbing to inspire others facing a figurative mountain and raising $500, has evolved into a flagship fundraising event for Fight CRC, raising over $1 million to date for colorectal cancer research programs.
In 2026, Fight CRC will host the 11th annual Climb for a Cure, expanding the event into two distinct experiences for the first time: a National Climb and a Regional Climb.
-
The National Climb in Flagstaff, Arizona will offer two routes—a moderate climb and a more advanced summit—for participants from across the country.
-
The Regional Climb in Lake George, New York brings together the Fight CRC community with Wendy Harpp’s 7th annual New York climb, uniting our efforts under the Climb for a Cure banner.
Every step taken supports groundbreaking genetics research, amplifies survivor stories, and advances Fight CRC’s Path to a Cure. Climb for a Cure is about more than scaling mountains. It’s about coming together as a community of colorectal cancer champions to support each other and overcome a challenge together. No one fights alone!
